    He was still on the Niners.  True.  He would not accept trade to Broncos that required him to waive $4MM of the contract he was already signed to.
    He did not know that once he was available that his [edit - future] stance on publicly stating his beliefs about the systemic racism in the US would find nobody wanting to employ him.

    Like who?

    Eli Manning
    Trubisky
    Haskins
    David Blough

    None of those guys should be starting in the NFL.  
    Better than Eli?  Just stop.   You must be drinking cheap vodka tonight.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Not talking career.  Eli is not a starting QB at this point.  That is why the Giants, who wanted to start him all year, benched him after a few games. Delusional Giants fans still think Eli is great.  He is not worthy of starting in the NFL - again, which is why he was benched so early.
    (And previously for Geno Worst QB Out There Smith)

    But let's say that your guy Eli is better as a broken down and old QB.  What about the other guys on the list?

    Lots of the QBs starting this weekend after Used Up, Brand New, or just bad.

    Kap farts and Nike makes a billion.  A NFL contract is rather insignificant at this point.

    But he’s older and more expensive. It’s not the only part of the equation. 
    It’s not even any part of the equation. Neither is age or cost.

     The equation is:
    CK+Snowflake Fans = Bad PR


    You know that’s not all of it. He’s had contract offer since. Turned down the broncos early on. 

    He wants more $. Or perhaps he wants to say no and just make his Nike $. Don’t know.  

    "Early on" being before he even started his protest, and before he left the 49ers, and therefore irrelevant to this issue. 

    Edit: I take it back; it's not irrelevant, it's quite relevant. The broncos offered him a contract in early 2016 but then somehow were not interested in him after he began his protest. Odd how his skills were good enough for them before he started taking a knee. 
    Not true it was after his protests 
    I’ve read two articles that said it was before he began the protests. Do you have a source for your claim? 

    Here’s one

    Fake news.  People just say it because it sounds good and keeps the guy sharing truth in the shade.
    Elway was a great QB but he wouldn't know how to pick one any better than any person sleeping under a bridge, as evidenced by his track record.

    And there’s this article reporting that Kap is turning down the Bronco’s contact offer - dated April 2016. 

    He started his protest in August 2016.

    I'm a Broncos fan and I approve this message.

    Philip Rivers
    Baker Mayfield
    Joe Flacco
    Jared Goff

    he’s better than them as well
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    yes this is what I think is driving him now. Well, I think he is 100% authentic on his cause but that he actually doesn’t want to play football, just use it (probably like he thinks they used him) to further his cause.

    So you think the chargers should cut rivers and pay Kap? Get the hell out of here.

    Brkwns should get rid of Mayfield? C’mon.

    Broncos who already tried to get him and he declined? No chance.

    Goff? Really? You are out of your mind.

    clearly people that don’t watch any football shouldn’t be talking

    Hmmm think you are right. I know he had another offer to play football but I don’t think it was the NFL now that I’ve read more. Been so long I guess I got it messed up on the timeline. My apologies.

    Better than Philip rivers?!  Man I want to have what you guys are drinking.  How can a guy that hasn’t played a snap in years be better than a starter?  This is just a silly argument.  The dude is done.

    How can you do any worse than lose?  
    Rivers is so washed up it is pathetic.  He can't even pull his signature move, which of course is to make faces and yell at his teammates.

    I like how you dismiss the opinion of others devoid of any fucking facts.  "People that don't watch any football shouldn't be talking"
    He is a Chiefs fan and actively posts on the NFL thread.

    I think that would be the same silliness as making a sweeping generalization based on the same amount of factual data/knowledge and say "clearly people who don't like CK because they think America is a lovely and unbiased place for people of color shouldn't be talking"

    The question is, if you were an owner, would you really want everythign that comes with him, good and bad?  I was disappointed that he framed his workout and getting an offer as somewhat of a social justice issue.  I'm 100% empathetic and believe in his cause.  I don't think the national anthem is about the troops.  I think it's perfectly acceptable and appropriate to kneel.  But I'm also sympathetic to an owner not wanting to deal with the drama at this point.

    The owners absolutely can make that choice, from either an economic or moral position.  Just don't collude as a group and don't try and say it is because he is not good enough.
